Hi,

I just d'ld a 670 MB file and when I click 'play', nothing shows except vertical color bars? What is this? Thanks!

You are missing the required/necessary codec to make your film file play properly. As you seem new to this, I would suggest that you go to the following web site, download and install the player, as it is well known as a media player that will play most film clips.

ukbobboy,

Thanks for responding. I had d'ld the vlc player months ago and it won't play in it either...it just shows time passing and a blank screen. I checked under the 'video' tab and it was enabled.

My version is 0.8.2 Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks!

You can try and look up the file with bitzi. See How to use Bitzi Web Lookup. If others have d/led it, then it should say if its a corrupt file or not.

You could go here CODECs list for Movies /Alternate players / Video help forums. Maybe there's something in this thread that would help.
